If you want to invoke them as Web Services or via Flash Remoting, you
need to make your CFCs web-accessible. Otherwise, you can put them
wherever you want.
Here's what my team does (partial credit to Mike Nimer for the seed of
this):
{cfmx}/
extensions/
components/
{appname}/
{file}.cfc
customtags/
{appname}/
{file}.cfm
includes/
{appname}/
{file}.cfm
wwwroot/
{appname}/
{file}.cfm
Where {cfmx} is the install directory, {appname} is an application name
(e.g., store, membership) and {file} is any filename.
Then we add these to the custom tag / components path in the CF Admin:
{cfmx}/extensions/components/
{cfmx}/extensions/customtags/
And we add a mapping for the includes:
/cfinclude {cfmx}/extensions/includes/
Typically, each application has an Application.cfm under
wwwroot/{appname}/ which also cfinclude's /Application.cfm which
contains our 'global' stuff.
This is all part of our coding guidelines - but I can't remember
whether I left this in the public domain version:

I can't answer your RDS question I'm afraid!
